You realize these were infants and toddlers adopted from countries such as Korea, Vietnam, China, Romania - not like they had any say over being brought here by adopting parents
And yeah, it’s easy for parents to,forget that these kids needed paperwork filed as teens unlike a natural child
“...it’s easy for parents to,forget...”
I’m sure that ALL international adoptions have lawyers involved, this is something for the lawyer to be aware of and handle.
If something like this happened to me I would sue the attorney for malpractice and I imagine I would win.
